If you’re an iPhone user running Windows and Apple’s new Magic Mouse made you ache for a little taste of that multi-touch goodness on the desktop as well, you’re in luck! No, Apple didn’t provide support themselves, but the enterprising folks over at UneasySilence showed — there’s a hack for that!

Thanks to a little hackery from Apple's Bluetooth Update (located here) the Magic Mouses driver was extracted via WinRar resulting in a 32bit version and a 64bit version that you can install on any ordinary Windows PC that will enable all the scrolling 'magic' of the Magic Mouse.

I’m loving my Magic Mouse on Mac OS X — inertial scrolling is awesome — and I’m looking forward to trying it out on my Win-box when I get back to work on Monday. If you beat me to it, let me know how it works for you!

Ninja Tip: How to Use an Apple Multi-touch Magic Mouse with Windows

How badly does Wired’s publisher, Condé Nast, want to get their content on the still-mythical Apple iTablet? Badly enough that they’re working with Adobe to mock up their old content for this new (and still hypothetical!) medium. See the video above. (Warning! turn down your volume first!)

Now, we understand when movies started they were just filmed stage productions, and so it makes some sense that this looks a lot like scanned magazine pages made slideshow — with a nice interactive map thrown in. The good news is that Apple’s iTablet is still unreal, so there’s plenty of time for content providers to play around with ideas on how to better present it dynamically, not quite like the web or even iPhone apps or iTunes LP/Extras, but a hybrid of all the above and more. Something next.

Wired’s “We Really Hope Apple’s Making an iTablet!” Interface Concept

Birdfeed [$2.99 - iTunes link], one of the best looking, slickest working iPhone Twitter clients we’ve looked at, has just been updated to version 1.2 and is jam-packed with new, well-handled features:

• Geographic locations can now be attached to posted tweets using Twitter’s new Geo API, and a tweet’s location, if present, will now be displayed as a place name (e.g. “Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn, New York”) in the tweet detail view. Tweet locations can also be examined in a new map view.
• Flickr accounts can now be used as photo sharing services for
• New photo posting sheet allows larger versions of photos to be examined before they are posted, and for metadata (such as title, description, and tags) to be entered.
• Settings for location posting, photo sharing, and URL shortening are now located inside the app, and can be specified on a per-account basis. Additionally, the local tweet cache can be cleared for each account from its settings screen.
• The Direct Messages Inbox now has a toolbar with refresh and mark all read buttons.
• Mentions can now be marked as read simply by tapping into their detail view from the main timeline.
• Favstar.fm and Tweeteorites have been added to the profile services menu.

How’s 1.2 holding up so far? Birdfeed implements the Geo API flawlessly, though it takes a while for the location to manifest (I got near Quebec the first time I tapped it, then a nearby cross-street when I tapped it again — which is kind of creepy in a cyber-stalked sort of way).

If you’ve given it a try, let us know what you think.
